This is my first grow going into week 6. I have them fluorescent lights for 18 hours for now, and it seems one plant is doing better than the other. I just started to give them fox farms tiger bloom, grow big, and big bloom about a week ago twice a week. I have a have a thermometor in the bigger plant that floats around 78-80 so i dont think heat is a issue and humidity of about 40. This is my first grow is this normal or should i do something?

Looks like the light isn't intense enough so they're growing slowly, I would move the light closer or add more light even a few cfls would make a difference. Other than that they look healthy keep up the good work! also humidity and temp are perfect for this stage so no worries there.

I don't suggest vegging them under a HPS. T5 fluro lights work great for veg, then I place them into a room with a HPS.
What is your light setup, 4 bulb, 2 bulb, t5's?? I keep the light as low as possible on the plants.

Even weak CFLs should b able to do more than that in 6 weeks. Get the light closer.

Despite what people say, I had great luck vegging under floros! You can have the plants touching the lights with no burn however, so move them suckas down! (or the plants up!)

I see that sometimes the tips are turning brown so I moved them up should I move them down. I'm working with 4 t5 grow lights, two 5400k and two 4800k lights. What do you suggest with the tips?

its not the lights they should be way bigger by now. Has to be a soil issue.
